Specialist Reporting Beyond the Examination
Our Services
Four Ways to Get the Specialist Opinion You Need
VERIFY offers a full spectrum of specialist reporting options — each designed to support your matter at the right stage, with the right level of clinical input.
File Review
A specialist reviews the available medical records, imaging, and documentation and provides a written or verbal opinion on the clinical issues in dispute — without directly examining the claimant.
- The claimant is unwilling or unable to attend an examination
- The claimant is overseas, incapacitated, or deceased
- A preliminary opinion on available file materials is needed
- To assess consistency across existing medical evidence
Supplementary Report
A follow-up to an existing specialist report, addressing additional documents or materials received after the original report was finalised. May require a further examination if the new material is clinically significant.
- New medical evidence becomes available after the initial report
- A claimant's condition has changed since the original assessment
- Additional questions arise not addressed in the original report
- To respond to a report obtained by the opposing party
Teleconference
A direct discussion between the specialist and instructing lawyers — by telephone or secure videolink — to seek preliminary clinical opinions, clarify findings from an existing report, or obtain specialist input without commissioning a formal written report.
- Seeking a preliminary opinion before commissioning a formal report
- Clarifying specific points in an existing specialist report
- Urgent specialist input is required on a time-sensitive matter
- General clinical discussion to inform litigation strategy
Expert Evidence
When a matter proceeds to hearing or trial, VERIFY arranges for the specialist to attend and provide expert evidence — in person or via secure videolink — including sworn testimony, cross-examination, and expert conclave attendance.
- Court, tribunal, or commission hearings requiring specialist testimony
- Cross-examination of the reporting specialist by the opposing party
- Expert conclaves or concurrent evidence sessions
- Mediations requiring specialist attendance or written conclave report
